Two-Party Insurance Checks: Getting Funds Released
3 min read · updated July 2026 · MESHA Team
Who this is for
Public adjusters and independent adjusters whose clients carry a mortgage, which is nearly all of them. If a settlement check has ever sat in loss draft escrow while a contractor waited on a deposit, this one is for you. Residential or commercial, the maze works the same way.
The problem
The carrier fight ends and a second process begins. The mortgagee clause puts the servicer on the structure check, and now the money moves at the pace of a loss draft department: packets, endorsements, inspections, staged draws. Here is the part nobody says out loud: most delays are not the bank being difficult. They are partial packages, inspections nobody requested, and verbal promises nobody wrote down. The adjusters who get funds released fast treat the loss draft process like its own claim, with a checklist, a call log, and diaried dates. Meanwhile the client watches a signed settlement sit frozen and starts wondering what, exactly, they hired you for.
